Chinese cultural groups from all over the state and the world converged on Ala Moana Beach Park on Aug. 13 to participate in the annual Dragon Boat Races, wherein teams paddle enormous (and heavy) carved wooden boats along shore in a race to capture their flag.

Subject: good hawaii culture short film
Beautiful weather starts this short film, making those of us who don't live in tropical seaside locations want to be there.

Felt "anonymous" as the camera popped in and out of the action. Might have been nice to have a little voiceover or on-the-spot narration.

Great to see the action of the Dragon Boat race and good camera work, being right there as the flag is captured!

thanks for making the movie, great to see it archived.
